Hi everyone, I am intending to build new system for playing dota, lol, asking for optimum settings at 60fps. Also do light schoolwork, that's all.
Budget around $500, but no need casing, PSU, monitor, keyboard, mouse, OS.

Is budget a bit tight?

Get an i3 or amd a10 6800k setup.

Asrock b75m dgs + i3 3220 ~ $211
Kingston Value Ram 4gb 1600mhz ~ $ 53
Hitachi Deskstar 500gb ~ $ 60
Powercolor 7750 1gb ~ $ 122
Reuse chassis
Reuse psu

But must check what is your psu wattage.

Total $446

For amd setup

Asrock Fm2a75m + a10-6800k ~ $280
Gskills ripjaws 1866mhz 2x4gb kit ~ $ 110
Hitachi Deskstar 500gb ~ $ 60
No need gpu
Reuse chassis
Reuse psu

Total $ 450

Both buy from tradepac. Diy.

Hi, really thanks for the reply.
I'm looking at the AMD setup, how much power will it be need to power the system up? AMD system can't use kingston valueram?

Is not cannot use. Can. But is the benefit for the integrated graphics. It will boost the overall performance of the graphics. The faster the ram the better the performance. Not forgetting it can be overcloked ;)

500w should suffice.
